Pros:
GMMK Pro clone for way less than half the price. Can *probably* swap in GMMK pro parts
Hefty, nearly 4 lbs (1700 grams) all aluminum case, aluminum plate, decent foam throughout, gasket mount.
South-facing led, 5-pin hot-swappable switches
Generous (but not excessive) lube job on the screw-in stabilizers
Coiled USB-C cable included, though it is not braided
Mac/Win switch to swap alt/command without software
Cons:
A little pingy on bottom-out with some switches due to the all aluminum build
The knob is inconsistent - it has detents, but it often doesn't register being turned until the second or third click. It's also a fairly loose friction fit
For MacOS, neither VIA or QMK could recognize the board
Lighting isn't great. The side strips are dim even at full brightness and not very well diffused, and built in patterns are pretty generic
Other:
Spherical PBT keycaps are comfortable, but they are completely smooth; no texture at all. The color scheme feels pretty retro, but unfortunately none of the pre-programmed lighting profiles are orange to match
Gateron browns. Completely personal preference. If you already know you want something different, get the barebones version and save some money
The bottom plate is machined as if it's intended to fit a battery or two - so either this is a borrowed design from another OEM producer, or Inland plans to release a wireless version in the future.
Overall for $130 on sale it's an amazing value

Edit: 10 extra minutes of going in and out of the product page and removing/readding it to the cart eventually let me checkout. Big thanks OP
. Let's hope it ships
